An easy shore entrance at the Eden Rock dive center leads to a short, 100 foot swim to the eden rock site. In the summer months small 1 inch silversides school in the tens of thousands within the caves and surrounding area of Eden Rock and Devil's Grotto. Depending on how long you can hold your breath, peer into the many swim throughs, or just marvel at the top of the reef.

Silversides at Eden Rock

Cool shallow shore dive site with t...

Eden Rock is located in George Town and is an easy shallow shore dive site for all levels. It's about a 140 m/ 150 yards swim to the site and the max. depth is about 45 feet so you can have a long dive here. There are many ways to dive this site and different ways to go inside the tunnels. You can go all the way around Eden Rock to discover the entrances to go inside and big tarpons are everywhere. It is handy to bring a flash light to see some smaller creatures inside the tunnels. An adventurous dive!

Very fun shallow dive!

This one is a must see but beware, avoid this site when the cruise ships are in port.
In the summer months the tunnels fill with silversides which are simply amazing. Unfortunately, this year they have not shown up. Otherwise the tunnels are fun to explore. Lots of tarpon can be spotted here.

Great Shore Dive

We dive this site every time we visit Cayman. It's easy and cheap. You can bring your own gear but you have to rent their tanks. It's also very shallow so you can get heaps of bottom time. There is a massive Barracuda there that lives underneath the dive boat. He will even smile for your camera:)

This is a Cayman Must-Dive...

Right in down town George Town, this shore dive is easy to get to, has lots to see, and is great for newer divers. The swim throughs are fantastic. Tarpons loiter about, chasing silver sides. If you're lucky you'll meet a turtle that will be your personal tour guide.

Nice coral structure

This is a very nice shore dive, particularly when the silversides are there. The entry from the dive shop is very easy but can get a little slippery. I've done a few night dives there and usually find an octopus or two. The only down side is there's usually a lot of snorkelers there during the day.

Eden Rock

The dive was good. However, the Eden Rock dive shop owner was a complete ass. It was apparent that it was a chore for him to take my money for the air tank. If I could have gone somewhere else for this shore dive access I would have. The owner was pissed off that I asked about the silver sides, when I asked for a rest room he snipped back "Its broken, go across the street", and then he basically threw my credit card back at me across the counter with out so much as a thank you. A complete asshole. Be aware that if a cruise ship enters or leaves the entire area is covered with sand and visibility is cut to 10 feet. My rating would be hire but due to the dive shop owner and the sand it was an not as good as I hoped.

A fascinating dive

Returning for our 3rd trip to GC and 2nd time for a dive at Eden Rock. This is by far a special dive when the silver sides are in. They were in full force last year when we were there in June and hope they are here this year even though we are a bit earlier than last year. A truly amazing dive that you can't miss it!
